"Alright. You have the say," Miguel reluctantly agreed.
Sheena nodded in satisfaction, smiling as she replied, "Mr. Cameron, you truly know how to read the room."
Miguel shrugged his shoulders and left with a dejected expression.
Dealing with this couple was proving to be more challenging than he anticipated.
Cooperating with Elliot involved taking considerable risks, but how could he secure better benefits without taking risks?
He composed himself and left the basement.
Jacob furrowed his brow and was about to speak again when Sheena shot him a disapproving glance.
He swallowed his words and turned away, sighing as he glanced around the dusty and dimly lit basement before leaving.
Outside the mansion, several black cars parked under the dense shade of trees.
Jacob secretly called Elliot to update him.
"Mr. Jenkins, the person who just came, Billie, is Mr. Fitzpatrick's bodyguard. He came to check if Miguel really had Mrs. Jenkins. Also, there's something else…"
He paused, then continued, "To convince Mr. Fitzpatrick, Miguel indeed tied up Mrs. Jenkins and locked her in the basement…"
As the captain of the National Investigation Bureau's Ninth Division, years of training prohibited Jacob from hiding the truth from his superior.
He had to report everything accurately.
Upon hearing this, everyone became anxious.
Elliot's expression darkened as he clenched his fists tightly.
Veins were even bulging on his hands as he suppressed his anger.
Elliot remained silent for a long time, and Jacob could almost feel his fury.
He hurriedly explained, "Mr. Jenkins, it was Mrs. Jenkins who insisted on making it convincing to dispel Mr. Fitzpatrick's suspicion. She also requested to stay in the basement…"
Elliot's face turned even grimmer.
His mind was filled with images of Sheena's wrists turning red, and her being left alone in the dirty basement…
That damn Miguel!
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Elliot stared at the mansion in the distance, gradually calming his breathing.
He knew Sheena's stubbornness too well.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
